While lectures and scientific sessions are highlights on their own, the **hands‑on workshops** at AAE 2026 are where theory becomes practice. These interactive courses give attendees the rare opportunity to work directly with expert faculty and the latest technology — including dental microscopes, dynamic navigation systems, and microsurgical tools. Below is a preview of three standout workshops that promise deep skill building and clinical relevance. --- ## S‑100 – *Guided Piezosurgery and PRESS Workshop* **Instructor:** Dr. Stephen Niemczyk Microsurgery often necessitates precision bone removal, delicate root resection, and meticulous tissue management. **Guided piezosurgery** — an ultrasonic bone cutting technique — elevates surgical accuracy while preserving adjacent soft tissues. In this workshop, participants will: - Learn guided piezosurgery technique fundamentals - Practice controlled ultrasonic bone cutting in a hands‑on setting - Understand setup and execution of the **PRESS** (Piezosurgery‑Related Endodontic Soft Tissue Strategy) protocol - Integrate piezosurgery workflows with microscope visualization This session is ideal for clinicians aiming to refine their surgical armamentarium and gain confidence performing computed guidance‑assisted endodontic procedures under high magnification. --- ## S‑300 – *Dynamic Navigation in Endodontics: Taking Endodontics to a New Level* **Instructors:** Drs. Jaime Silberman & Mohamed Fayad Dynamic navigation systems represent one of the fastest‑growing innovations in guided endodontics and microsurgery. Unlike static guides, dynamic navigation enables **real‑time instrument tracking** and enhanced spatial awareness during complex access or surgical procedures. In this hands‑on workshop, attendees will: - Experience real‑time navigation systems with live feedback - Perform navigated access and guided osteotomies - Understand indications, limitations, and troubleshooting - Learn how to integrate navigation with CBCT imaging and microscope workflows This session is a must for clinicians looking to embrace **next‑generation endodontic guidance** and take complex cases to a new level of precision and predictability. --- ## S‑400 – *Microsuturing and Microsurgical Soft Tissue Management in Endodontics* **Instructors:** Drs. Ali Fakhry & Stephen Niemczyk Microsuturing is one of the defining skills in contemporary endodontic microsurgery — and arguably one of the most challenging to master without expert instruction and repeated practice. The S‑400 workshop goes beyond lecture, giving attendees the opportunity to: - Practice **microsuturing techniques** using fine suture materials - Manage soft tissues under magnification with ergonomic technique - Understand needle manipulation, knot security, and delicate tissue handling - Apply suturing principles to common clinical scenarios such as apical surgery, flap closure, and regenerative cases This workshop is exceptional for surgeons and general clinicians alike who want to build confidence in soft tissue management — a skill that pairs seamlessly with microscope‑enhanced visibility. --- ## 🎓 Why These Workshops Matter AAE 2026 isn’t just about learning *what* to do — it’s about understanding *how* to do it. Participants in these hands‑on sessions will: ✔ Gain tactile experience rather than passive observation ✔ See how advanced tools (microscopes, navigation systems, ultrasonic units) change outcomes ✔ Get real feedback from expert faculty ✔ Build workflows that can be taken directly back to the operatory And for those using or considering Global Surgical microscopes, these workshops provide the perfect environment to see them in action — whether for enhanced surgical access, refined suturing, or navigating complex canal anatomy under magnification. --- ## 📍 Don’t Miss AAE 2026 Whether you’re focused on clinical excellence, ergonomic efficiency, or advanced technologies such as dynamic navigation and guided piezosurgery, AAE 2026 promises hands‑on education that moves beyond the classroom and right into your clinical skillset. 👉 **Planning to be there?** Be sure to join these workshops and experience best‑in‑class teaching that will elevate your microscope workflows — and your patient outcomes. ### See You In Salt Lake City?
